Hidden gem falls by the wayside

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2024 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Fun layout, utilizes the landscape well, variety of obstacles and hole lengths (especially for a local 9-hole). Includes some elevation and water to make it interesting.

Cons:

The course has fallen into general disrepair. The fact that they mow the fairways is the only simple maintenance performed here. A basket on hole 5 is missing, no bridge between holes 4/5, the walkways are overgrown, there is poison ivy all over the place. Additionally, there are dirt teepads, the distances on the signs is off, one of the signs is missing, and there are pedestrians walking around the course from the apartment complex. The complex that owns the land obviously doesn't care about the course, and I only expect it to get worse.

Other Thoughts:

What was originally a hidden gem of a course is now falling into disrepair. Considering how many nice courses there are in the area, I would not currently recommend this course.

What will this become? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great piece of land (former ball golf course set in between apartment complex(es).
Signage is decent (no marker for hole 3)
Uncrowded
Great place to play safari and work on your game until it gets crowded.
Like the flags on the baskets this course is fairly open so seeing how the wind is acting near the baskets is great.

Cons:

No permanent teepads
4-5 holes favor RHBH 3-4 could be considered neutral and none could be definitely considered favorable to a LHBH or RHFH
Needs bridge over creek from 4's basket to 5's teepad
Parking can be confusing parking in the apartment complex near the pool (near hole 1) is fine but the parking lot for a commercial building on the south side of the course which looks extremely inviting as it is near 2 teepads (holes 2 and 3) and easily seen from Grand River Ave. has signage warning of being towed so I would not use.

Other Thoughts:

This could become a first rate 18 or 27 hole facility. A 4.5+rating is a possibility because of the size, elevation changes and water. It will be extremely interesting to see how it works out over time.
